Chako: Why is that so important?
Log: Recently, there has been an increase in younger kids getting involved in shady side jobs and scams, leading to more of them ending up in juvenile detention. That’s why his work is particularly significant. What do you think, Navi?

Admin’s Note

I believe that Gorgo Matsumoto’s activities at the juvenile detention center are very meaningful. In particular, his role in addressing the issue of juvenile crime, which has recently emerged as a significant social problem, is likely to be substantial. Through his lectures, if the detained youth can rediscover their individuality and potential, and develop a positive outlook, it should have a beneficial impact on society as a whole. I feel that his sincere attitude and ongoing efforts are qualities we should all strive to emulate.
